Suggest a Weird Movie!

Know a weird movie? Something strange that glued you to the screen with awe, amazement or reverence, while your more mundane minded friends left the room (or theater) in boredom, confusion or disgust? A movie whose omission from a list of the 366 weirdest movies of all time would offend you on a personal level? Something even I haven’t heard of or considered? There are potentially thousands of forgotten films, critically dismissed films, foreign or independent films that never got a proper release, or misplaced oddities hiding out there that may deserve a place at the table. One man can’t be expected to track them all down. Here is the place to mention those treasured curios that no one else seems to have even heard of. Nominate a movie in the suggestion box and I’ll move it up on my review queue, or at the very least, explain why I’m not going to review it.

NOTICE: The “Suggest of Weird Movie!” feature has become a victim of its own success. At the time of this update, we have about 250 reader suggestions (!) in queue. (More than that since I last updated the page)! Since we can only do 1 or maybe 2 reviews a week, be aware there may be a huge delay—currently, possibly over a year!—between the time you make a suggestion and the point at which it’s actually reviewed. I considered shutting down the suggestion box as of 2011, but I decided to let you keep your suggestions coming (if nothing else, it tells us what types of movies readers are interested in seeing reviews of). Just be aware that when you make a suggestion, it may not receive the promptest of attention. The best you can really hope for at this point is to bring something to our attention that we might have overlooked. (Also note that although we prioritize the earliest nominations later suggestions may get reviewed before earlier ones if they receive a re-release on DVD or Blu-ray, or interest us for our own inscrutable reasons).

If you can’t wait for one of our staff to review your movie, why not review it yourself and submit it to us via the contact form? We can’t swear we’ll publish every submission we receive, but we want reader participation and we are fairly liberal.

All serious suggestions will receive a response, as well as all most non-serious ones.

Here’s the review queue of reader suggestions that have yet to be reviewed, in alphabetical order. You can always see this list ordered according to (very rough) intended order of publication in the weekly “What’s in the Pipeline” column (published on Sundays). Of course, at this point the list is so long that it is likely we will have to leave the task of reviewing the items at the end of the list to our children, but whatever.

We could do U-Turn, it’s always intrigued me but I’ve never seen it. I’ll put it in the queue.

Lebowski is great, obviously, but not weird enough, IMO. Raising Arizona is intriguing, but you and I may be the only ones who find it “weird” (wouldn’t mind hearing others opinions). Not really interested in The Frighteners, but we’ll do The Bad Batch when it comes to home video. Thanks for the suggestions!

Recently saw Human Highway, the 1982 surreal comedy movie produced, directed by, and starring Neil Young, along with Dean Stockwell, Dennis Hopper, and Devo. It’s mostly improvised, and most definitely weird, though not a movie I can necessarily recommend. That said, I’ve never seen anything else like it.

Skins (2017) Directed by Eduardo Casanova
In a strange world where people share numerous deformities, the same problem we all face challenges each of them: to find someone who accepts you as you are. Sometimes, that means finding yourself first.

Back in the 90s, Joe Bob Briggs was the Go-To for weird movies. One of his recommendations was Blood, Bullets, Buffoons , which found me staring in awe and wonder while friends are scratching their heads. We had to special order the VHS from the local Video Store to rent. Never seen another copy anywhere again. Dont know if it made it to DVD. Very micro budget.

I love Joe Bob! Blood, Bullets, Buffoons did make it to DVD, it appears, as part of a double feature with something called In the Flesh. I’ll put it in the queue if JB said to check it out, but it is last in an extremely long line.

Haley and Angelo: Because of the enormous length of the queue, I’m becoming much more selective of what I add and I’ve started requiring someone to second nominations I’m on the fence about before I’ll put them into the queue. Both Lars and the Real Girl and Don’t Torture a Duckling fall into that category.

Many thanks, unfortunately we took it off Youtube in order to push DVDs (a move for more mystery, albeit maybe not a smarter move), it is available on my music page (available for purchase here- https://stembreo.bandcamp.com/merch/a-kestrel-hive-short-film ), but i’d be more than happy to send you the video file if i can get your e-mail . . .

Galaxy Turnpike. It’s a Japanese sci fi comedy. You can find clips on YouTube.

Here’s a review clipped from another web site:

“Galaxy Turnpike” begins in 2265 on an off-ramp from Route 246666, which connects Earth to a space colony located between Jupiter and Saturn. Here a married couple, Noa (Shingo Katori) and Noe (Haruka Ayase), run the venerable fast-food joint Sandsand Burger, now in its 150th year of operation.

Their customers, space aliens all, are a varied lot. At a corner table a shy doctor (Kanji Ishimaru) sits with a sketchy pimp (Koji Yamamoto) flipping through a photo album of alien hookers, some of whom look vaguely human. At a nearby booth a bespectacled bureaucrat (Yasunori Danta) taps at his PC, with chirping cartoon birds, a yapping cartoon dog and a mincing elderly mime (Kazuyuki Asano) hovering nearby. Don’t ask why.

Bolivar El Heroe (2003), a very insane Colombian animated biopic of Simon Bolivar which borrows some aspects from various anime. It was thought to be lost until 2015 when somebody posted it on YouTube which it’s still on there to this day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51fyzTYIVws
and War God (1976), a rare Taiwanese kaiju movie about the Chinese god of war, Guan Yu fighting giant aliens. It’s also on YouTube if you want to watch it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ahnvk_vPQsM

Malatesta’s Carnival of Blood (1973)
The Norris family get jobs working at a seedy old carnival as a cover for searching for their missing son who disappeared after visiting said carnival. Eccentric manager Mr. Blood turns out to be a vampire while the evil owner Malatesta rules over a gaggle of ghastly ghouls who watch silent movies when they aren’t feasting on human flesh.
